Abstract

Nowadays, with a great increase in global population, converting the society to a comfortable feel good environment would be the only solution for stabling a permanent life on this planet. There is considerable potential to improve biomass fuels in producing suitable power sources such as combustible fuels, electricity and fuel gases, while abiding to provide conventional uses of biomass. The upgrading qualities and the industrial investment of biomass have already happening in many countries because biomass energy has specific amount of environmental and social benefits compared with fossil fuels. Biofuel is a fuel, derived from living organisms mostly from plants and other microbes. We can produce biofuels in an efficient and sustainable manner. The below review discusses various sources of biomass and their rate of production for different fuels (biomethanol, biobutanol, bioethanol, biodiesel and bio-hydrogen). Biomass energy productions global potential is large in absolute terms which could be realistically used to supply nearly 1,0,000Mega Watts (100quads) of electric capacity by 2020, and perhaps we can suspect the amount will be doubled by the year 2030. Sustainable economic growth along with industrial growth needs safe and feasible resources of energy. For the future re-arrangement of an encounter economy, we completely require new approaches in research and product development. In this review, we are mainly focusing on cost effective technologies and some mechanisms to convert biomass into useful liquid biofuels and bio products. We specifically focus on the production of alternative fuels from different feedstock and aiming to give comparative studies.
